    The picture reminds me of those car magazine spy photos of the upcoming year's models. :)
    Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:

    Curt has a sizable lead, but his meager 9 ppd might not hold up against 32 ppd! Simply astonishing! I'm humbled. :o

    Yeah, I found that a few months ago, really good read, I thought most here had seen it.

    Very interesting stuff. I kinda liked the silver silver Lsi's with the blonde wood..

    Yes indeed very much appreciated, thanks Ric5811. Always nice to know companies you deal with a little better. Polks facilities is a dream for any technicians, engineers and sales rep. It reminds me when I was in the High Tech sector :cool:

    You sure love to pick, nag on people and I bet a day around you would be memorable in either bad or good way... just depends how much the person can take it. Too bad you do it on this specific thread, I think Polk deserve more respect than that, don't you? ;)

    The right (positive) attitude and passion will often surpass the product it self and is more likely a garantee for success. This reminds me when I operated my repair shop, one of my client told me he wasn't dealing with me necessarily because I was the best technician but rather because he felt welcome in my business. He mentioned another shop (competitor) he dealt with before mine, the owner had a very arrogant attitude toward him and potentially other clients as I recall this specific client was a real gentlemen and so easy to deal with. Polk is number one in my book!

    BTW, are those Polk T Shirts mentioned in the article available for purchase? I would proudly wear those :cool:

    I'd suggest you wait for the new one to come out (friendly enough, like looking for your best interest ;) )

    You need to knock this stuff out! When you posted and posted and posted and posted your love for the Oppo BDP-83 no-one crapped in your thread not to mention that this is serious thread that Al put up and, you keep, in a veiled way keep saying BS or fraud.

    Cut it out you are like a 10 year old.

    I doubt Doro is 'teasing' here. This is a logical, next, step after Polk unveils their new Lsi.....of course they would demo them to the faithful.

    I for one, am putting off any more purchases until I hear 'these'!!

    Logical the answer comes from the inside since the OP is a legitimate Polk inside thread ;) I guess you must of had that thread figured wrong right from start as it is a legitimate and serious Polk thread started by Polk's marketting team in order to have some members feedback on what would be appealing to market the new product.

    Cheers!

    So Mark or KAB or anyone, when is the "V-Day" for the new LSI's launch?

    Btw, I was listening to my 15 last night after a few weeks of break (my 15 is in the bedroom system, so haven't really seen a lot of actions lately) and it was as glorious as it ever be. I'll miss my setup when the time to upgrade comes..
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    I just pick up a pair of RT55i months ago, I personally don't like it a lot because it sounds kind of "laid back" to me. I am considering upgrade to LSi9 or 7, preferable used. I wonder if it worth the upgrade? Considering I gonna sell the RT55i for $110 and top up $400-450 for a pair of LSi9.

    Welcome FX. The upgrade will be worth it if you do your research & realize that in order to get the best out of them you will HAVE to invest in an amplifier of at least 200wpc since the LSI's are harder to drive then 8ohm speakers like the RT-55i's.
